In mid-2013, some media broke the news that the new national standard for floor formaldehyde will be officially launched in 2014, and the new national standard E2 level will be abolished. In September, the “Green Home Materials 3G Logo” jointly launched by China's Wood-based Panel Distribution Alliance was officially launched, marking that all industries involving wood panels in China are about to enter the green 3G era. At the same time, the China Wood and Wood Products Circulation Association Wood Floor Circulation Professional Committee also announced at the end of 2013 that it will promote the classification of floor enterprises in 2014, and the environmental rating will be an important basis for classifying enterprises.

Floor green environmentally friendly low aldehyde age

Industry ills or will improve

As we all know, environmental protection has always been one of the key issues that have plagued the development of the flooring industry, or directly said that environmental protection is the "Achilles' heel" in the development of the flooring industry. In the past few years, industry testing has become a “small hurdle” for many flooring brands. A series of problems such as excessive formaldehyde, brand exposure and quality black list have not only greatly affected the market of the flooring industry, but also made many people pay attention to environmental protection. Consumers have to "stay away from the wood floor".

Floor industry low aldehyde era or will be opened

In October 2013, Hunan Administration for Industry and Commerce issued the “Notice on the Quality Inspection of Circulation Sectors in the Third Quarter of 2013”. A total of 47 products were randomly selected for this test, of which 27 were combined and 20 were unqualified. Among the unqualified products, formaldehyde is one of the important factors.

In October 2013, Zhejiang Flooring Association conducted the first sampling of 89 batches of 89 flooring companies in the province. Among them, two popular “foreign brands” were seriously over-standardized, up to 3.3 mg/L and 2.7 respectively. In milligrams per liter, according to China Floor Network's 2013 China Flooring Industry Internet Index Analysis Report, the floor index that consumers are most concerned about at this stage is environmental protection.

Many insiders and outsiders believe that the exposure complaints in the flooring industry will occur frequently. The reason is that many flooring businesses lack responsibility, and they are not strictly controlled in the process of manufacturing. The floor threshold is too low, which also leads to many enterprise technologies. Not in place, it is difficult to control the formaldehyde content. However, in addition to the lack of self-sufficiency of unscrupulous companies, the lack of industry standards and backwardness have always been the key to market disruption. There are no prevailing standards, which make the environmental protection products of the flooring industry various and difficult to distinguish; the backwardness of the national standard and the uncertainty of the testing methods also make it difficult for many enterprises to accurately grasp the environmental metrics, and even many well-known flooring companies in the production process In the environmental protection standards, but because of the detection method conditions and environmental changes, unfortunately "shot" on the black list; at the same time, the lack of supervision and binding, but also some flooring companies have a chance to get lucky, so go into the false boast Mistakes.

In response to the shortcomings of the flooring industry for many years, at the end of 2013, relevant institutions and state departments worked together to promote the formulation of industry norms and the improvement of environmental standards. In 2014, the flooring industry will take the environmental protection wind, take advantage of the old innovation, and enter the new era of floor environmental protection!

Standards influence trends, trends lead innovation

The “Green Home Materials 3G Logo” was fully opened in 2014, which not only established an authoritative professional certification for floor environmental protection products, but also easily identified 3G logos, which is not only difficult to estimate the chaos of environmental protection “certificates” in the flooring industry. The role also brings authoritative and credible references to consumer product purchases, effectively reducing the chances of consumers being deceived.

In 2014, once the “floor enterprise classification system” was introduced, it will also create a huge market gap for the top-ranking enterprises committed to environmental protection through the intuitive classification of the excellent flooring brands and “workshop-type” brands. And a higher competitive advantage, allowing consumers to accurately identify the brand strength through the wood flooring enterprise level, and enhance consumer protection.

At the same time, the close preparation of the new national standard for floor formaldehyde also marks a qualitative leap in the environmental protection threshold of the flooring industry in 2014. The elimination of the E2 national standard will impose stricter requirements on the environmental protection technologies of many flooring companies. At the same time, the E1 level has become the new national standard bottom line, and also marks the 2014 floor products, which indicates that there will be no indoor and outdoor points for the environmental protection standards for floor installations in China (the original E2 standard is applicable to outdoor, and the E1 standard is applicable to indoors). In accordance with the E1 standard, the E2 standard board will completely withdraw from the ground paving market.

For any industry, industry norms and national standards are key to directly affecting industry trends. For the flooring industry, 2014 is a year of high standards and standards. With environmental standards and standards, and inspections by supervisory agencies, the environmental changes in the flooring industry have become a trend in 2014. The flooring industry in 2014 will usher in the “outbreak” phase of green technology. Under the constraints of industry norms and new national standards, more and more wood flooring companies will pay more attention to the implementation of environmental standards, and the perfect norms and standards have greatly reduced the “drilling loopholes” of some enterprises. The possibility, when many companies are hard to blur concepts and false propaganda, the breakthrough innovation of green environmental protection technology has become the only way out for these enterprises.

The flooring industry in 2014 will be a revolutionary year for the green technology of the flooring industry. In the case of green transformation of the industry, the improvement of the industry's environmental protection concept will further deepen the attention of the potential consumers of the floor to health. From standards to industry, from industry to technology, from process to market, and the market affects consumption. Under the gradual changes, in 2014, the flooring industry will open a new era of low aldehydes!
